Fortune Brass update
Tuesday, 23rd September 2008 by zachDue to some temporary long term unavailabilities of our trumpeters, Fortune Brass has taken a bit a of a break from performing regular feature concerts, and is on standby until mid-2009.
But during this time there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes!
Not only is Fortune Brass currently in the process of ordering more repertoire from overseas, Australian composers writing for us and Jules and Zach writing some cool arrangments, but we are also building relationships with some of the best venues in town: St. Christopher's Cathedral, Jazz at The Folkus, The National Library, and University house hall. This growing repertoire list and contrast of venues will help us to be more specific in the style of music we play - eg jazz for one concert, classical for another!
On top of this, we are collecting together as many brass players as we can from all over Canberra to be on our list, so we will never be short of musicians for performances.
It really is exciting how the versatile brass scene in Canberra is growing.
Get ready for a big year of concert programs for 2009!
